FARR Hogging RAM?

[siouxdax]

Hello all:
I just noticed that FARR is running with more RAM than usual. It's showing that the virtual size is 103,000K and the working set is at 25,000K. I should mention that I only use that terminology (virtual size, working set) because that's what Process Explorer shows, so throwing more five dollar tech words won't mean much to me. LOL. I do, however, understand (for the most part) what those two numbers mean.

At any rate, is this normal or is something a bit wonky? As usual, any help or suggestions are very much appreciated!

That sounds pretty normal - after just booting my system and doing a FARR search, I've got Virtual Size of 138MB and Working Set of 22MB. The figures in ProcExp you should be most interested in are the "private parts" (), since that's the "meat" of the memory allocations.

procexp shows almost the same figures on my pc. but i always believed in giving Farr copious amounts of memory.




however if you want to reduce the memory usage, you can go to Options > General and change the "Inactive Memory Usage" settings.

Thanks for pointing out that option. Much appreciated!
